Blade and Elementalism - DPS Build | Looking for Help

[DarkMasta]

Hi everyone, I am sure there is more threads about this but I did some research and I still need a bit of help, specialy now since this turned into Legends because I don't know if certain skills were changed or not.

I played a bit before this was Legends but never got seriously into it. Now I came back and I am really enjoying playing this and wanted to give it a serious shot.

However in every MMO I suck at builds and skill trees and always end up having to copy a build from someone or from a post somewhere online.

Too much text already sorry let me get to the point.

I have Blade as my main and Elementalism as my second. And I want it as a DPS build.

Right now I am using the following skills:

Q: Flowing Strike
1: Spirit Blade
2: Flash Freeze
E: Dancing Blade
LMB: Hurricane
RMB: Chain Lightning

With the following as passives:

Meassure Twice Cut Once, Focused Breathing, Resonance, Cryoblast, Static Charge.

Is there something you would change? I just wanna do DPS with this build but when possible I would like to save a couple of builds on the build manager (when I know the builds are good) for diferent situations.

For example, a solo DPS, a DPS build for dungeons\party play and a tank build.

If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your time!

I can link (at work atm) two builds- solo/scenarios, and a very meh DPS blade ele build when I get home.

Neither weapon would be good for tanking, however, sadly.

I use Blade/Ele soloing and scenarios, amd a pistol/ele build dungeon dpsing. There is still problems with blade DPS vis a vis risk reward in higher elites (all the risks of melee range but it has little burst damage so you don't trade the increased risk with superior numbers, sadly).

When I played back when this wasn't Legends, people used to tell me that Blade isn't a DPS weapon and was meant for tanking :\
That's why I asked

Ah, no problem. Blade is no longer a tanking weapon (chaos, hammer, and shotgun are now) with shotgun having taken its spot :)

It still has weird selfheals etc for reasons unknown, but its lack of aggro increasers and significant mitigation actives makes it, even as an offhand tank weapon... not the best.
